In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Through the gates of lying she left
Through the years I've wept
Lying face down in the ground
And I can't hold you now
Why did I choose to refuse you
It's not that I used you
I left when I should have
Believed that I couldn't hold on
But you never let go
Or at least I think so
And if all I've got are these tears
Will the sun come up
And rid me of darkness again
Throw my hands up
Why did I choose to refuse you
It's not that I used you
And all of my words were withheld
And not heard, I did fall
But she never let go
Or at least I think so
Oooh, since you know that I'm here
Oooh, since you know that I'm here
And if all I want is a room with you
(This love, this heart, this is waking up)
To break down the windows and pull you through
(This love, this heart, this is waking up)
If all I see is an empty sky
To push you out from the snow
I don't want to know this love
I don't want to know
So I'll never have this love
I don't want to know
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love
Maybe we can wear this love
Maybe we can wear this love
Maybe we can wear this love
Maybe we can wear this love
Ooooh
Through the years I've wept
Lying face down in the ground
And I can't hold you now
Why did I choose to refuse you
It's not that I used you
I left when I should have
Believed that I couldn't hold on
But you never let go
Or at least I think so
And if all I've got are these tears
Will the sun come up
And rid me of darkness again
Throw my hands up
Why did I choose to refuse you
It's not that I used you
And all of my words were withheld
And not heard, I did fall
But she never let go
Or at least I think so
Oooh, since you know that I'm here
Oooh, since you know that I'm here
And if all I want is a room with you
(This love, this heart, this is waking up)
To break down the windows and pull you through
(This love, this heart, this is waking up)
If all I see is an empty sky
To push you out from the snow
I don't want to know this love
I don't want to know
So I'll never have this love
I don't want to know
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love
Maybe we can wear this love
Maybe we can wear this love
Maybe we can wear this love
Maybe we can wear this love
Ooooh

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
